Ryan will wipe the floor with Biden

[GallopingGhost]

according to Ed Rollins, Republican strategist.

Until Ryan is asked about specifics.

Then it will take too long to explain.

Forty-seven percent of America is too dumb to understand anyway.

[southernyankeebelle]

1. I think Biden will take it to Ryan. He isn't Obama.

[Jackpine Radical]

2. Yes, I'd noticed the physical difference between them myself.

Obama isn't bald.

[southernyankeebelle]

8. I'll have what you are drinking.

[Ter]

38. Neither is Biden

Anymore.

[Scootaloo]

51. Oh good, he got that toupee I sent him.

[GallopingGhost]

3. I detest Ryan.

I can't wait for this debate.

[valerief]

5. He's the weasel who tells you he's getting your office after Romney has fired you.

Yes, he's truly detestable.

[coalition_unwilling]

41. Ryan brings to mind that song by the O'Jays "The Backstabbers":

"They're smiling in your face.
All the time they want to take your place.
The backstabbbers."

[valerief]

43. Oh, that was a great song!!! nt

[graywarrior]

4. Can't wait to see that war horse destroy that punk ass whippersnapper

[CTyankee]

37. He won't hold back the way he had to with Palin. He'll win the debate, hands down.

Ryan IS a punk in every sense of the word.

[graywarrior]

42. A wise-ass punk.

His eyes are gonna bug out of his head.

[dballance]

6. I bet that after the Pres. debate last week there won't be much room for BS

I'm going to bet that given the opinion that Obama didn't do well last week the strategy for Biden will be to be very forceful. To call Ryan on his BS and make him give specifics which he does not have. And if he gives any specifics they certainly won't be favorable to the middle class if he is honest.

Biden is a long term statesman and senator. Ryan is really still a junior ass in the house.

How's that next marathon going Paul?

[gateley]

31. I've read where O's staff has indicated that Biden will have to "pick it up" -- but I think he'll

have to walk a fine line between aggressive and being vicious. Joe is anything but vicious, but they may be pushing him. Just my own concern, nothing I read said they were telling him to take it that far.

[Swede Atlanta]

7. Ed Rollins needs an enema!!!

I have no concern Biden will not match or defeat that little smug Papist Ryan!!!!! He is going to wipe his ass with Ryan's smirk.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Gums won't know what hit him.

Biden will school him good and proper.

[AtomicKitten]

10. Pfft. Joe is going to pants Ryan and take his lunch money.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

13. HAHAhahaha!!

Both the text and the popcorn kitty are DUzy-worthy . . .

[GallopingGhost]

20. Every time I see the cat I crack up.

[AtomicKitten]

44. hey

[NCLefty]

11. I don't see that happening.

[msongs]

12. gee DU said Obama would destory Romney. we all know how THAT turned out nt

[GallopingGhost]

19. I hope he will in the second debate.

I don't know what was distracting him in the first, but it seems like he's back on top of things now.

[sheckley]

50. what makes you think he's back on top of it?

i'm really worried about future debates. i just hope rmoney gets cocky and gets caught with his pants down!

[GallopingGhost]

53. I think that because I feel he realizes how he appeared

in the first debate and won't let it happen again.

It's like Judge Judy says, "If you tell the truth all the time you don't have to have a good memory."

Someone who lies as much as Romney will, in fact, get caught with his pants down!

[sheckley]

55. truth

i'm in a debate with a friend on facebook, but i didn't get to listen to the entire debate. can you help me out with the lies Rmoney spouted? mabye there is a list somewhere if its not on top of you head

[GallopingGhost]

57. I'll post a link, or someone else can help out

if they have it at the ready.

[GallopingGhost]

58. Here's a good article

with the lies nicely broken down.

Hope it helps!

[littlemissmartypants]

63. Welcome to the DU!

[bigwillq]

64. Hello

Welcome to DU!

[mysuzuki2]

14. There will be blood on the floor.

But it will be Ryans. Kick some repuke ass Joe!

[and-justice-for-all]

15. Please...not gonna happen...

Ryan, to Biden, is a snot noised little bastard.

[GallopingGhost]

17. Me thinks I was being sarcastic.

I am looking forward to this debate, because I know what an experienced debater Biden is, and I am curious to see Ryan debate. Personally I hope Ryan gets humiliated and called out on all his lies.

[and-justice-for-all]

69. Ah, sorry...

have to add the sarcasm taggy thingy....

[GallopingGhost]

70. I will remember to, next time.

I forget sometimes you can't convey tone through the internet. lol

And I agree completely with your assessment of Ryan!

[zbdent]

16. Well, if the "liberally-biased media" allows Ryan the same luxury as was afforded to

Rmoney ... then yes, Ryan will "mop the floor with Biden" ...

[GallopingGhost]

18. Interesting debate link I meant to post earlier...

http://www.theprogressiveprofessor.com/?p=16588

[Grammy23]

22. I'm just guessing here but common sense tells me that Biden has been prepped ---

To kick ass, take names and ask questions. In that order.

After last week's lackluster performance by the President (not epic fail but not stellar either) the Obama team has probably decided that they cannot afford any more weak debates. Obama's supporters were expecting him to box Romney's ears and instead got see him appearing bored, distracted and less than willing to take on Romney at all.

So that means Biden has to rip off the gloves and lay into Punk Boy right out of the shoot! And I know where I'll be. Sitting ring side, with popcorn and a good, cold drink. Kick him 'til his nose bleeds, Joe!! I'm not sure who needs the spanking more....Romney or Ryan but for Thursday night, I'll settle for Paul.

[juajen]

35. Scuse, please, but the word you are looking for is "shute", not "shoot".

You have been visited by the DU Spelling Police. Hope your day is full of wonderful colorful words.

[CTyankee]

48. Actually, I think it is "chute."

There is apparently no such word as "shute" in the English language.

[juajen]

36. Scuse, please, but the word you are looking for is "shute", not "shoot".

You have been visited by the DU Spelling Police. Hope your day is full of wonderful, colorful words.

[rock]

62. I for one was pleased with the President's performance in the debate the other night

I thought that Obama could not have been more presidential, nor Romney less presidential. But apparently many of my fellow DUer's were wanting more knock-down drag-out fisticuffs. Well, I'm pretty sure this coming Thursday will provide them with more than what they want when we find out once and for all, does Ryan scream like a little girl?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. Ryan can explain away about his desire to axe Medicare

and the VA and Medicaid and Social security

Biden needs to 'go for the jugular'

[smorkingapple]

24. I think we see Biden unleashed in debate.

He had to be tame last time because of Palin. Didn't want to come off as bullying the younger woman. There's a reason she used that "can I call you Joe" line when she walked out, they wanted to play that angle.

No need to hold back this time. No one is going to be mad at Biden if he destroys Ryan in a debate, Ryan is not popular.

If they go tame this time around too and we see a repeat of last week, I'm going postal.

[Cha]

26. Yeah, wouldn't want to call, "May I call you, Joe"

a Liar.

[Indpndnt]

61. I can't wait to see what happens when it's not going well for Lyin'.

You just know he's going to get that smarmy, little smirk on his face that appeared when the AARP convention attendees started booing him.

[Cha]

28. I remember more than a few of us going postal

when Lieberman debated cheney. Now, that was a little gummy pushover.

[gateley]

30. She did the "may I call you Joe" thing because in debate prep she kept calling him Senator O'Biden -

Remember? And even then, she still said it once.

[Sophiegirl]

25. Joe is no pushover...

...he has a lot of fire in his belly and once Ryan opens his mouth, Joe will pounce like a cat on a mouse.

[BeyondGeography]

27. Doubt it

[gateley]

29. I just rewatched the Biden Palin debate, and I'd forgotten how good Joe was. According to

Game Change, afterward Joe told the Obama team "you guys owe me - it took every ounce of discipline I had to hold back". And he still came at her with facts and knowledge. He said that Cheney was the most dangerous Vice President in the history of the US. . I loved that!

He was able to show that Palin didn't know what the fuck she was talking about but never personally attacked her.

He's good. He'll do fine.

[cheezmaka]

32. Somebody tell Ed to "put that bottle down"!

He must not know who "Smokin' Joe" is... Can't wait to see it!

[Jennicut]

33. The expectations are lower for Joe then they were for Pres. Obama.

Which is a good thing. A CNN poll showed more people expect Ryan to win then Biden. That can be used to his advantage. Many, many people forget then in 2007 Biden was a really good debater in the primaries. I mean, he ruined Rudy Giuliani with one phrase, "a noun, a verb, and 9/11." He was also really funny. And he handled Palin well but can be more aggressive with Ryan. I think many Repubs are in for a surprise because they never really watched the early primary debates in '07.

[desertduck]

34. I know biden is well known for his gaffes, but, honestly....he is a breath of fresh air to me

He is off the cuff and SINCERE....which i REALLY like. & He is a seasoned politician. I have no worries as to how he will do in the debate b/c i can't see him acting in any othervway that what he already does--he speaks his mind. Skippy will throw out some bullshit and biden will respond. If anything, i think he would have to work really hard to NOT respond.

Plus, i like that he is personable and can relate to the blue collar workers just as well as the white collar workers. I think this debate will go much better....

[Curtland1015]

40. They claim he makes gaffes.

All he ever does it tell the truth and some people equate that with screwing up when you're a politician.

[desertduck]

65. they are not gaffes--well, maybe 1 or 2, but I find them funny as hell.

they blow it WAAAY out of proportion to make a story out of nothing. Biden is a bulldog and that is why they quickly labeled him. mittens and his little liar get nothing but passes. so utterly pathetic...

[Catlover827]

39. Tickets for Gotye that night

But will set the DVR. GO JOE! Can't wait to watch this one. I'm sure all the pundits will be pontificating about Joe's "gaffes," but I like the recent definition of the word (a gaffe is when someone accidentally tells the truth).

[Blue Idaho]

45. Joe Biden single handedly ended the political career of Rudy Giuliani

"A noun, a verb, and 9 - 1 - 1."

[GallopingGhost]

46. That's a Biden classic. lol n/t

[Rosco T.]

47. Uncle Joe will eat him alive n/m

[Chuckyoufarly]

49. If joe can stay on game.

Thats the problem he has a way of going wild. He knows all of our concerns and he can articulate them but sometimes he goes off message trying to hit the grand slam. What we need here is solid base hits, do not go for the knock out.

No one really cares about vps to start with. Romney just pick ryan to firm up the base as romney is to liberal for most republicans. In fact Romney was very liberal in mass. Gun control check, state medical check, for abortion check, etc. He had to get Ryan to balance his record, but it means nothing they will go with Romney's plan when it is all said and done. Just like Reagan for 8 years or Clinton for 8 years , It was not about bush or gore.

This race is about Obama and Romney.

Oh and dont dismiss Ryan he is sharp as a tack and cannot be rattled. He will stay on message and he might push Joe's buttons. Biden must stay on message and not let the smart ass out of the bag. It will be fun and I hope Obama finds a better coach than Kerry before his next debate.

[Indpndnt]

66. First off, I guess you've never seen Biden debate. He stays on target.

Second, the people care about this VP contest because people, especially seniors, are aware that the little weasel wants to steal SS and Medicare from them.

Third, Lyin' gets pissy when he's questioned and we all know how accurate he is when making claims. Marathon time, anyone? He volunteers 'facts' that no one asked for, 'facts' that are easily checked and revealed to be lies! His arrogance is off the charts. If Joe pushes all of Lyin's buttons about his revered Ayn Rand, we might see real fireworks.

Personally, I can't wait for Thursday.

[hrmjustin]

52. Biden is great at debating.

[geardaddy]

54. Biden will school that punk. n/t

[flamingdem]

56. I hear there's a new product coming out right after the VP debate

Ryan Wipes

* Use them to wipe up any Paul Ryan drips from the debate floor

[Blue Owl]

59. The only thing Ryan will be wiping up is Ed Rollin's jizz

n/t

[GallopingGhost]

60. Well, that would certainly be an exciting end to the debate! lol n/t

[NCLefty]

67. Those undecideds with the CNN "insta-reaction" dials will be dialing like crazy.

[GallopingGhost]

68. I would imagine so! n/t
